Osama Based Laden was a hero and did nothing wrong.

>>18181908
There was never actually any proof of this.
Let me repeat that again.
THERE IS ZERO ACTUAL EVIDENCE THAT OSAMA BIN LADEN WAS BEHIND 9/11.
Afghanistan offered to turn him over if America provided evidence of their assertions. This never happened, instead American troops invaded for zero good reason at all. The entire war could have been invaded if the US government had been able to provide a scrap of evidence linking Bin Laden to the 9/11attacks.
>but they took credit for the attack
No, they didn't. Al-Qaeda has repeatedly and consistently denied any involvement in the 9-11 attacks. The only exceptions to this are:
I. one low ranking al-qaeda operative who claimed responsibility long after the fact (as those groups often do for literally every act of terrorism) then quickly retracted his comments.
II. Several confessions obtained under torture by people who may not have had any relationship to al-qaeda at all but were detained in guantanamo bay for years without trial or evidence presented against them.
III. An anonymous letter that was written in English and circulated in Germany, which was quickly attributed to Bin Laden by western media. At no point has Bin Laden taken responsibility for this letter, and there is no real evidence that he was the one who wrote it.
IV. A video tape in which Bin Laden talks about planning the whole plane attack... found miraculously intact inside a bombed out building somewhere in Afghanistan. It has since been released from the CIA without any audio, however they provided an english transcript of the conversation.
Despite this apparent total lack of physical evidence, from when the initial attack happened at 8:40 it only took until 9:30 pm that same day, under 13 hours, to assign responsibility for the attacks. How did Bush possess such incredible clairvoyance to know who committed the attacks before there had even been time to carry out an investigation?

>> No.18182846

>>18182838
>but there was a court case
To date there have been two individuals persecuted for involvement. Zacarias Moussaoui and Mounir El Motassadeq. Neither of them were charged with involvement in 9/11 per se, but merely with acts of terrorism and involvement with the terrorist group al-qaeda.

Of Moussaoui, he claimed to have no knowledge of 9/11, but did admit that he was a part of al-qaeda and had been actively planning A DIFFERENT TERRORIST ATTACK that had been planned to take place after 9/11. There was also overwhelming evidence presented at the trail that the US government was aware of his activities and keeping a close watch on him prior to 9/11. Formally Moussaoui was charged with conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries, conspiracy to commit aircraft piracy, conspiracy to destroy aircraft, conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, conspiracy to murder United States employees, and conspiracy to destroy property, and he admitted guilty to all charges on April 22, 2005 claiming that he intended to free Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman. According to Moussaoui, his master plan was to hijack a Boeing 747-400, since the plane is one of a few that could reach Afghanistan from the US without any intermediate stops. Three jurors decided Moussaoui had only limited knowledge of the September 11 plot, and three described his role in the attacks as minor, if he had any role at all.

Mounir El Motassadeq was initially charged in Germany with accessory to 3,000 counts of murder. This was overturned in a court of law for insufficient evidence. He was then charged with "membership in a "terrorist organization". That charge was also overturned after an appeal. On February 7, 2006, Germany's Federal Constitutional Court ordered an early release of Motassadeq. The highest court of Germany ruled there was an absence of proof that Motassadeq was informed about the September 11 terrorist plot. Finally the German Federal supreme court ruled that there was enough evidence to prove that Motassadeq knew of a plan to hijack a plane, and he was therefore charged with 246 counts of murder. Subsequent appeals have all been rejected.

Both trials were rife with accusations from lawyers present that the CIA and US government had coached witnesses and knowingly withheld evidence. Nobody has formally been charged with knowing involvement in 9/11. No proof has been presented demonstrating that anybody know that 9/11 was to take place.

So far the only hard evidence I have been able to find is a series of wire transfers between Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and Mohamed Atta providing funds for the attacks. If anybody was aware of the attacks, it would be Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh. He was never charged in relation to the attacks, but was later arrested in Pakistan concerning the murder of an American journalist. America has never requested extradition.

>> No.18182854

>>18182846
Concerning Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh:
>Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, in his book In the Line of Fire, stated that Saeed was originally recruited by British intelligence agency MI6 while studying at the London School of Economics. He alleges Saeed was sent to the Balkans by MI6 to engage in operations.

Again, there is very little proof that Bin Laden was involved at any stage in the 9/11 attacks. There is a lot of proof that the US government actively acted in obscuring evidence and blocking investigations while trying very hard to manufacture a narrative assigning blame. No court of law has ever assigned blame for the 9/11 attacks. There was a trail set for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, described as the chief architect behind the 9/11 attacks, which was supposed to begin at the start of this year (nearly 20 years after the fact), however that has since been postponed because of COVID. No new trail date has been set, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed continues to be held in Guantanamo

Very interesting.
Not to be a "source? source?" guy, but where did you gather most of this information?

>> No.18183067

>>18182944
Wikipedia, specifically
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsibility_for_the_September_11_attacks
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trials_related_to_the_September_11_attacks
You need to be careful and know how to read between the lines, and also actually follow the sources. The main page on 9/11 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks)) is completely compromised, and I'll give you an example
> Although bin Laden initially denied any involvement, in 2004 he claimed responsibility for the attacks.[2] Al-Qaeda and bin Laden cited U.S. support of Israel, the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, and sanctions against Iraq as motives.
If you follow this citation you'll get a CBC news article (https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/bin-laden-claims-responsibility-for-9-11-1.513654)) which cites, but does not link to, an al Jazeera broadcast
>Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden appeared in a new message aired on an Arabic TV station Friday night, for the first time claiming direct responsibility for the 2001 attacks against the United States.
Now I searched for this broadcast on youtube, and found the clip in question here:
>https://youtu.be/L06lMsF4LJQ
A broadcast about a series of tapes released by the pentagon, without sound, showing an emaciated looking arab man that barely resembles bin Laden, and a transcript in English provided by the US government.
So if you only go off wikipedia or CBC it seems like Osama went on TV and broadcasted his motivations for the attack. In fact, his 'claiming responsibility' comes third degree from the source tapes, which are dubious at best and have never been seen without heavy censorship from the US state. The tapes themselves, if you dig into how the pentagon obtained them, were apparently discovered in a bombed out house somewhere in Afghanistan. They must have been incredibly lucky that not only did al qaeda leave such incriminating tapes lying around (despite clearly demonstrating a lack of interest in broadcasting them), but that those tapes also survived a bombing that destroyed the rest of the house around them.
The declarations of motives, "Al-Qaeda and bin Laden cited U.S. support of Israel, the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, and sanctions against Iraq as motives." is probably a reference to this document:
https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/ubl2016/english/To%20the%20American%20people.pdf
which has been attributed to Bin Laden by every western news source and is usually referred to as "Bin Laden's Message to America". HOWEVER, this letter was written in English, with an English speaking audience in mind, and first circulated among German Islamist cells... a far distance away from Pakistan and Afghanistan where the Taliban are actually located. While Bin Laden apparently claimed credit in the English speaking world, its interesting to note that he never bothered to do so in the country he was living in, few people in Pakistan and Afghanistan believe that Bin Laden was responsible.

A bit more on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
> In March 2007, after significant interrogations, Mohammed confessed to masterminding the September 11 attacks, the Richard Reid shoe bombing attempt to blow up an airliner, the Bali nightclub bombing in Indonesia, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the murder of Daniel Pearl, and various foiled attacks, as well as numerous other crimes.
Not only was he behind 9/11, he was behind every major act of terrorism in the last half century. All it took was 'significant interrogations' to get him to admit to it.
So far the trail has seen two judges withdraw and resign from the case, but maybe the third time will be a charm. If it actually ever takes place, a date still hasn't been set.

Yeah, its incredible. All thats needed is a lie to be repeated over and over again.
The only thing that got me researching this was this documentary:
https://youtu.be/zIGbglprvGo
Specifically around 9 minutes in when the 9/11 attacks are discussed.
If students at Darul Uloom Haqqania, one of the schools most closely tied to the Taliban, Bin Laden, and the Islamist movements in Afghanistan and Pakistan don't believe that Osama did the attacks, then it seems dubious to assume that he would take credit in the English world while lying to his own close friends and allies. Somehow most people in Pakistan, where Osama was living for decades, don't think he did it... but the Bush administration was able to determine that he did from the other side of the world in half a day? Something's odd there.

Probably the only person who knows for sure what happened was Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh (since there is actual evidence connecting him to 9/11), but he's not speaking and the US has made no efforts to extradite him. All this despite the fact that he's been under arrest in Pakistan (for the murder of an American journalist which he admitted to) since 2002. Then his M16 connections... its all very fishy.
